    Dug a few beers and a couple mysteries

    As far as I know it's a crucifix stand. That's what the little rectangular hole is for.

    Unknown coin found metal detecting

    It's not a coin, it's an occult talisman, that's why it's blank on one side. Someone probably lost it off a necklace. I believe you can actually see the hole on the back there which must have "filled itself in" while it was left outside. You will see plenty of these being marketed online as a...

    what is it?

    It's symbolic. It's not really functional as any form of mechanism. Most stores/Botánicas that carry supplies for Santeria sell them, or similar versions of them. Often they are used on alters or in rituals or the such. I guess you found yourself a bottle hunting charm. Although Ochosi is known...

    Really kinda stumped

    That looks tribal to me. By the look of the claws on that skin they seem to resemble a young Komodo dragon more than an alligator or crocodile. If so, it might be from one of the tribes from the Indonesian islands, or something similar. I'm curious on the context of how you discovered this.

    what is it?

    I'm pretty certain that's an Ochosi Arrow. It's used in the religion of Santeria. Considering it was in the woods it's no surprise; in that religion Ochosi is a hunter and knows the woods well. Sometimes when things are used in Santeria rituals they are left in specific locations afterwards.

    a pile of curious glass

    Four of those look like they were all hand blown by the same place or person, which makes that really expensive "ancient" one seem less ancient to me. To me they look like a glass blowers practise bottles, though don't take my word as fact on anything there.

    Are these poisons reproductions?

    Ah thank you, I'm so clueless when I can't touch the item to feel the glass itself. No, I didn't buy those, the price did seem pretty 'up there' to me. Thank you very much for letting me know that. [:)] It's helpful.

    Are these poisons reproductions?

    I'm no expert, so I'm clueless, are these reproductions? The seller is claiming they are 75 to 100 years old, but I don't know, something doesn't seem "old" about them. Maybe it's the fact they are so clean that throwing me. Antique? Poison Bottle Collection

    Fruit bottle, any information?

    Sorry, I should of said, I think its a little "o" inside the diamond. It's actually harder for me to see it even when looking directly at it then when it has been scanned. The number is a 5. Yeah it is, sorry about that, my camera is horrible. I'm not even sure if we have/had the...

    Very odd doll..... Old or new?

    That looks a lot like one of these little fellas: Mexican Candleholder Just without his arms. I see whole ones of these from time to time in different styles in thrift stores, I have no idea how long they've been made for, but there might be some older ones out there, could all be based on...

    Fruit bottle, any information?

    Any information about this bottle would be appreciated. When my mother dropped by I happened to mention finding this forum and she got all excited and asked if I could find out any information or if it's worth anything. I personally don't know anything about it, or how long she has had it, but...

    Hello, (New here).

    This is the rest of that bottle... That other side says BRITISH CHEMISTS CO in case it's hard to read at that angle. I really should wash that film out of it, though the purple rainbow shimmer it gives off when the light catches it right is kind of neat, though makes me wonder what on earth...

    Hello, (New here).

    Until right now, I had actually never heard of Monmouth, I was pretty certain I was reading that wrong.

    Hello, (New here).

    Well that makes a lot more sense now... I didn't think one could bottle drama.
  15. I

    Hello, (New here).

    Oh alright [:D] I wasn't sure since I knew what it said, kind of like the misheard lyrics, but with reading. I have no idea what yours says, it looks something like monmouth drama extracts or something completely beyond me that is written in Russian letters.
